Without having inside information you will never know which is actually better. just not having the end covers doesn't mean it is inferior. Another argument can be made that you actually have more filtering media due to the filter being longer after removing the end-covers. Here is a comparison on another site, seems to favor the new design a bit. From that thread the new one seems to have better sealing, o-rings and inside cage.

I suggest to use ForScan with a suitable OBD Adaptor that can access MS-Can & HS-Can and check for any codes that might help diagnose your issue.

In the 2016 Owners manual, the initial coolant change is clearly stated as "Initial replacement at six years or 100000 mi (160,000 km), then every three years or 50000 mi (80,000 km)." I am sure there is no harm in changing it early. Also, proof that changing out the orange coolant is not required immediately is the fact that the yellow coolant can be used to rip-off the orange coolant and that no flush is required when draining the orange & filling with yellow.

I'd also agree with @1004ron but suggest you remain with the Motorcraft oil filter. No reason to change to another oil filter brand as there has never been any bad reports on them. For change intervals, I couldn't find it in the 2016 Owners Manual, but in previous Ford models, it would state that even when using Synthetic oil to not exceed the same change intervals. In the case of the Edge it is 1 year or 10k miles, whoever occurs first.

Seems to be an improvement over the Chinese Edge with a few more hard buttons. The Chinese even less audio hard buttons. Also, the image is clearly a preproduction photo. Passenger seat control does not have any logo in it unlike the driver's control (Edit: that logo is the heated steering wheel!). Also, doesn't make sense that the only hard button for the HVAC (Max Defrost) is duplicated in the screen two inches immediately above it.

I originally got the how-to from this post. I don't have pictures, but what I did, first pulled down the front over head console, it just pops out. Then, there is a connector with 3 wires in it, I think it was the middle wire, just cut it. This will disable the lights on with doors open. I installed a switch inline where I cut the wire so I can enable/disable it anytime I want. First used this switch and on a another vehicle used this one. Note that this will only affect the front lights. The rear & cargo lights will still turn on with the doors.

As @Nick Halstead stated, the triangle LEDs are "signature lights", in other words, for looks only. They turn on with the ignition and cannot be turned off. The DRLs are the headlights, they turn on when you have the lights on "Auto" and you are out of P-Park. Also there is a setting in the left instrument cluster to turn off the DRLs (the headlights).

Do keep us updated. Another suggestion is to get the VIN of a Edge that came stock with these lights and check the ABD for it for those bits that are related to the DRL & headlights.

I don't think you'll ever get the real answer. It could an engineering issue, some part that can't handle the extra load. A safety issue, or even a marketing plot to push customers to go to bigger more expensive vehicles. I recall back in the 90's, the Grand Marquis had a 5000lbs tow rating, but in its last year's it was only 2000lbs, inspire of it being a body on frame that supposedly was improved over the years. https://www.towratings.net/model/grand+marquis

If you want to try things your way, check the BCM codes in the F-150 sheet, it has several mentions of LED lights in the BCM that might have an affect to your project. What changes did you do in ForScan? In this thread, a member installed Chinese (aftermarket) lights and had to make some changes. Maybe it will be helpful.

Usually eBay is a good source. Note that the Edge Sport wheels for 2011-2014 models were 22" not 20". Other years would not fit. 2007-2010 have a different bore size, 2015+ have a different bolt pattern (not sure of the bore). Another option if you want are 2011-2015 Lincoln MKX wheels, they are a direct fit. They come in 18", 20" and 22".

They are the exact same color. Like what @handfiler stated, both have the same color code. I even had some touch up paint left from the 2011 MKX and it matches the 2016 Edge. It was also called Kona Blue in 2016. The color's shade does differ based on lighting, sometimes looking like dark blue, close to Navy blue. In other lighting conditions it's blue blue, if that makes sense.

Kona Blue returned again for the 2016 Model year. I was fortunate to get both, a 2011 MKX & 2016 Edge in Kona Blue.

Master Reset is the most you can do, if it did not fix your issue then it is probably something else. If it is under warranty let your dealer handle it. I don't know if the basic Sync can be re-flashed again or not without a dealer's equipment. Maybe try to run the update again and see if works.

As per the Order Guide, it is part of the Cold Weather Package. It is not part of the 301a package. To OP, I don't recall anyone doing this retrofit on this forum, definitely not on a 2019/2020. Since the Fusion is closest, try to follow that how-to. For part numbers, I suggest you find a VIN for a similar model Edge that has the heated steering wheel then request parts for it through one of the online vendors such as www.levittownfordparts.com or Tasca Parts. They can confirm with the VIN if the part is correct. 2019-Edge-Order-Guide.pdf

As per the Service Manual, except for the 2.7L, the dipstick should be accessible without removing the air box. I know with my previous 2011 MKX that was nearly impossible to do. Attached are the procedures for Fluid checking and removing the air box. Transmission Fluid Level Check.pdfAir Cleaner Intake Air Distribution and Filtering - 3.5L Duratec R and I.pdf

The bulletin is addressed to vehicles Built On Or Before 3/23/2016. So your 2018 was supposed to have the updated Booster.

On the EcoBoost Performance Forums, Livernoise has been put on probation. This is the thread.

2019+ models have a completely different PTU. Yours is a 2018 so should have had 0.53 L.

Well, that means it has nothing to do with Auto Sart-Stop because the ST has it.

I just checked my 2016 Edge Sport, and it is the same. Actually the wires are not cut, but are a plug, they turn around to close a circuit, probably it is for something out Edges are not equipped with. The only thing that comes to mind is the Auto Start-Stop that I think is only equipped in FWD 2.0 Edges in 2015-2018 models.

Then you really should do another drain/fill to get the rest out.
